"Vocational education and training are an area which has acquired particular importance in recent years.
Introducing a European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training will help develop and expand European cooperation in the education sector.
It will also help improve the mobility and portability of qualifications at national level between different sectors of the economy and within the labour market.
Vocational education and training are a crucial part of Europe's efforts to tackle the social challenges presented by ageing societies and to realign its position in the global economy and resolve the economic crisis.
For this reason, I feel it is important for Member States to validate non-formal and informal education, especially at a time when the number of graduates from vocational education and training is going to fall dramatically between 2009 and 2015. At the same time, however, there will be a significant increase in the need for staff with vocational qualifications who can take up the vacancies on the labour market. Consequently, I believe that it is particularly important for European agencies to actively support the partnerships between Member States and European companies in this area, on the basis of a cost sharing scheme."@en1
